Trump's pick for federal prosecutor in D.C., Edward R. Martin Jr., has now sent a threat/investigation letter to a member of Congress over a hackneyed "bring a gun to a knife fight" figure of speech during a CNN interview. Martin sees fit to pretend that it's a threat to a public official. /1

He skipped the class in law school that dealt with the First Amendment.
He skipped the English class where they taught the concept of an idiomatic expression.
And he skipped the grammar class about using the word "whom."
Just another stellar Trump appointee.
The point is to have a chilling effect, which is, of course, how gaslighting abusers operate.
Proefessionalized, scaled up *ssholery. All of it.
